Stunning weapon

() Xiliang, Shangjingcheng.

In the palace, Mo Zhiyuan quietly walked towards the imperial study. Over the years, it seemed that he had gotten used to this kind of life. Every day there was a mountain of memorials, and he would review them in person every day, never using others.

Today's morning court lasted until the afternoon, and then it dispersed. Mo Zhiyuan ate casually and slept for a while. Now that he woke up, he was about to start reviewing the memorial again.It stands to reason that at this time in the past, he had already been sitting in the imperial study, and although the early dynasties in Xiliang usually lasted until noon, it was still rare to see them so late. . .

The reason for this today is because the barbarian country seems to have some movement. After autumn, it is already common for the barbarian country to use troops to plunder the Central Plains.Originally, it would be good for Citigroup, which is a big camp at the front line, to deal with these matters.

But this year is different, because, compared to Xiliang, Yan State can be regarded as a soft persimmon. Although the strength of the Northern Xinjiang camp is comparable to that of the front-line camp, even if it is slightly worse, it will not be much worse. In the past, when Mei Shichang was in northern Xinjiang, there was even a faint tendency to push the embossed flag.

However, in terms of people's livelihood and logistics, the frontline camp in Xiliang is much better than that in Northern Xinjiang.Even in terms of defensive offensive and protection of the surrounding people, the frontline camp is also very complete. These have been arranged as early as when Mo Zhiming was still alive. Citi has been rushing for these years. The development of the city is still good.The things left by Mo Zhiming are fully developed and even improved. Therefore, in the past, the barbarian countries usually robbed the things of the Yan Kingdom. On the surface, it is all kinds of interests. . .

Hua Qichong is not an honest person. Often at this time, by helping the country of Yan fight the barbarian army, they always ask for money and food, and the country of Yan has no choice. They dare not risk themselves to fight the barbarian army At the same time, the risk of the Xiliang people kicking the chrysanthemum in the back can only be a compromise.

Therefore, this time in previous years is usually the time when Citi Chong negotiates with the envoys of the Yan Kingdom.

But in the past few years, the barbarian army seemed to have hardened their teeth, and it seemed that they didn't like the soft persimmon Yan Guo, so they aimed their heads at Xiliang.

Today's morning court is to discuss this matter.

Originally, this matter was handed over to Citi Chong to handle it. At most, he was asked to come up with a plan, and then the court discussed whether it was feasible, and then considered and revised it.But this year's Citi Chong seems to have been confused by the sudden actions of the barbarian army. I don't know if he is afraid of taking responsibility, or if he really feels powerless. Therefore, he just passed on the news, but did not propose anything. plan.

In this way, there was a discussion on this matter in the court, and there was no result in the discussion until the court retreat. Those civil servants and generals all quarreled, which made Mo Zhiyuan a headache. He felt that these old guys He is so addicted to bickering that he even forgets to eat.

In the end, Mo Zhiyuan really got a headache from the quarrel, so he announced his withdrawal from the court and ordered the officials to come up with a feasible plan tomorrow morning before making a decision. Of course, he did not let Liu Chengqi be idle.

Although Liu Chengqi has a heart of disobedience, Mo Zhiyuan has to admit that he is indeed very useful. Mo Zhiyuan is willing to let him do this kind of proposal, because it is both It will not involve the matter of seizing power, and he also handles it very properly, thinking about everything.

Walking on the long corridor leading to the Imperial Study Room, Mo Zhiyuan still felt a little headache, so he patted his forehead lightly.

Eunuch Chen was on the side, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? But you didn't sleep well?"

Mo Xiaochuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I got a little headache from their arguing."

Eunuch Chen said softly: "The old slave asked someone to prepare some ginseng tea for His Majesty."

"No need." Mo Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Cui Xiu is going out, is there any movement in Falcon Hall?"

"No." Eunuch Chen shook his head, and said: "Liu Chengqi seems to be very afraid of Old Master Cui, and he didn't dare to send people to follow him, but let the people in the Falcon Hall roughly stare at the direction that Old Master Cui is going. That's all."

Mo Zhiyuan nodded, and said: "It seems that Cui Xiu has taken a fancy to this kid Xiao Chuan. However, it shouldn't be that way if he goes here."

"Citi Chong's performance is so poor this time, I urge old Hou Ye to take a look at it for himself, so he can rest assured." Mr. Chen said fairly.

Mo Zhiyuan smiled and didn't speak. He knew exactly who Cui Xiu was, and Cui Xiu would only be in a hurry when the country was subjugated. Otherwise, Cui Xiu would only act for the things he was interested in.

Therefore, this is definitely not because of Citigroup's problem.

What will happen to Hua Qichong? After so many years, Mo Zhiyuan can see clearly that Cui Xiu doesn't bother to care about him at all.However, he didn't bother to explain this to an eunuch.

Although Eunuch Chen is his confidant, in Mo Zhiyuan's eyes, he is just a confidant.Therefore, Mo Zhiyuan would not say anything to him if it was not necessary.After walking another distance, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, is there any news from Xiao Chuan?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head, and said: "Not yet, Prince Chen seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't find anyone at all. However, it is generally known that he may make a detour from the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Where is Ye Zhanyun?" Mo Zhiyuan asked again.

"The news from the previous day, he is still in seclusion and has not come out. Today's news has not arrived yet, so I can't know it yet." Eunuch Chen replied.

Mo Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Forget it, whether he can come back depends on his good fortune. If he can't face this predicament, he is not worthy to be a descendant of my Mo family." He walked towards the study step by step.

Eunuch Chen looked at Mo Zhiyuan's back from behind, a little dazed. To be honest, he has served Mo Zhiyuan for more than 20 years, nearly 30 years, but he always felt that he couldn't see through Mo Zhiyuan. Can't figure it out.

Mo Zhiyuan's words seemed to be very important to Mo Xiaochuan, but he didn't seem to be very nervous about his life and death. Therefore, he didn't understand it. However, Eunuch Chen can be by Mo Zhiyuan's side for so many years. He has always been the general manager of the big house, and has never been replaced, because Eunuch Chen knows what he should and should not do at any time.He even thought clearly about what he should think about and what he should not think about.

So, seeing Mo Zhiyuan walking towards the imperial study room, he followed quietly, moreover, just followed quietly.

But not far away, in the small upstairs of Yingying's bedroom, Mo Ying stared at her elder brother with a puzzled expression on her face.She still remembered that when the eldest brother, the second brother, and herself were facing national ruin and family destruction in Xiliang, they still loved each other like that. Even in the most difficult time, the three of them relied on each other tightly.

The two elder brothers protected and pampered him, and the elder brother loved the second elder brother very much. He even gave up the woman he liked to him.However, after the two brothers turned against each other because of power, until Mo Zhiming's tragic death, Mo Ying felt that it was just an accident and did not want to believe that Mo Zhiyuan did it.

And at that time, after Mo Zhiming's death, the pain Mo Zhiyuan showed was not a disguise, anyone who saw it felt that it was an expression of true feelings.Mo Ying has never doubted it, even though, over the years, she also understands that the fire in Prince Qi's mansion that day cannot be explained by a simple accident.

However, Mo Ying was still unwilling to believe that Mo Zhiyuan was such a person.However, the uncertainty of Yingying's life and death and the death of the prince made Mo Ying a little shocked. Although she was still calm on the surface, she had mixed feelings in her heart, especially after Mo Xiaochuan's accident in the country of Yan. The indifference shown by Mo Zhiyuan made Mo Ying's heart even colder.Regarding this matter, she has always been very puzzled. Could it be that wanting to be an emperor and being an emperor can really completely change a person?

Li Changfeng came up from the stairs at the back, and said, "Why are you standing here alone again? It's cold now, put on more clothes."

Mo Ying looked back at him, this time, Mo Ying was not as indifferent as before, and she sighed a little tiredly, and said, "I'm going to Yan Country."

"Go to Yan Country?" Li Changfeng frowned.

Mo Ying nodded and walked downstairs.

Li Changfeng hurriedly followed behind, and said, "What are you going to Yan Country for? But to save that kid Mo Xiaochuan?"

Mo Ying took a deep breath and said, "That's right. After all, he is also a descendant of our Mo family. The second elder brother is only such a son. If I watch him die in the country of Yan, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life."

Li Changfeng understood Mo Ying's character, so he didn't try to persuade her, but said softly, "When are you leaving?"

"Now." Mo Ying turned her head, glanced at Li Changfeng, and said, "You don't have to go with me."

"It's too dangerous for you alone." Li Changfeng said hastily.

"So what? Can your brother really kill me?" Mo Ying said: "Even if he wants to do this, it depends on whether he has the ability, and, as far as I know, he is about to kill me." died."

Li Changfeng sighed softly, Yan Guo Ye Family, it seems that he has not thought about it for a long time.Looking at Mo Ying, he nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."

Mo Ying looked at Li Changfeng in surprise, Li Changfeng's reaction was somewhat beyond her expectations, she thought that Li Changfeng would stalk him, but she was still thinking about how to make him give up, but she didn't expect Li Changfeng to be so quick accepted.

Li Changfeng agreed so happily, but it made Mo Ying feel a little unhappy. Facing Li Changfeng, she suddenly felt a little guilty. After all these years, she didn't know what Li Changfeng was thinking.In order to guard her, Li Changfeng even worshiped himself as his teacher regardless of his identity and face.

I remembered that because of an angry word back then, as long as Li Changfeng was willing to worship me as a teacher, he was allowed to stay by my side. At that time, I just wanted Li Changfeng to retreat. I didn't expect him to kneel down and kowtow. Originally, keeping Li Changfeng by my side, It was really helpless, but after so many years, Mo Ying seemed to feel that she owed this man in front of her.He is no longer so pestering, on the contrary, he is not used to it.

However, Mo Ying didn't say much, just nodded lightly and said: "I see." After saying that, she turned around and left.

Li Changfeng did not follow Mo Ying this time, but stood behind her, staring at her gradually disappearing figure, and sighed with a wry smile. For a woman, her sincerity cannot be exchanged.

However, he proved with practical actions that this thing really exists.The man Mo Ying liked back then was indeed a stumbling block for him to pursue Mo Ying, but that man was already dead, maybe many years ago, just a few years after that man died, Mo Ying still couldn't because of his presence in her heart. accept yourself.

However, over the years, Li Changfeng has already known that in Mo Ying's heart now, the quietness beneath that man is just a memory, and time can really dilute many things, but unfortunately, that man is no longer there. But she couldn't enter Mo Ying's heart, and she couldn't even become a substitute.

At this moment, Li Changfeng seemed very powerless, and already wanted to give up, the decision he had insisted on for so many years.Mo Ying's figure had disappeared from his sight. He sat quietly for a long time, raised his head and looked to the northeast, where he was born, Youzhou City. He hadn't been back for many years, almost Forgot what Youzhou City looked like.

Maybe it's time to find out.He stood up and walked along the exception road, but the direction was the same as Mo Ying's, which was the Yan Kingdom in the east.
